American Idol finalist Matt Giraud has revealed that he will be ignoring Simon Cowells recent fashion advice.

Speaking to reporters after the conclusion of last weeks wild card show, Giraud explained: “I don’t know why he’s always hating on me! You know what, I trusted the wardrobe people with that one, they said just go for it.

“Who takes fashion advice from Simon anyway? Come on, really.”

Giraud also confirmed that he may play piano in future performances on the show.

“I’m gonna take a chance if I can, but I’m not going to be back there every time,” he confirmed. “I definitely want to try to get out there and work the crowd a little bit, too. Maybe I’ll do the keyboard for the first half of the song and then stand up and rock it out for the second half. Who knows?”
